Hi everyone! I'm wondering how to say this topic..
You're responsible for a certain product. But it's hard for the product to get a good position or to get a good evaluation, and you want to say:
1 It couldn't get popular
2 It is less common (in the market, in the recognition between staff members, etc..)
3. It couldn't spread well
4. It couldn't prevail well
What do you say? Which is better? Or any better one? In my opinion, 3 would be the best, but I'm not sure.

None of those choices work. I'd say eg It's not achieving any success. eg It's not catching on.

teechrThis product has failed to gain sufficient recognition or popularity in the market.Thank you, this is very close to what I want to say. Sorry I think my 1~4 are very influenced by the original text, I know they are not good. How can I say..as shown in 2, the product didn't get popular, 'get fixed', or get commonised between members, in the sales office,

teechrThis product has failed to gain sufficient recognition or popularity in the market.Ah sorry for the additional post. How about 'The product's popularity didn't get fixed'?

You know we have the TV game series 'Super Mario Brothers'. It is successful, popular, common, familiar, and famous among us, of course in the market and also among sales reps in a sales office.The product didn't become such, and this is roughly what I'm talking about. U~m then I should use 'unsuccessful'?

Dear Mister Micawber,
You've been in Japan? You know Japanese people don't like using a straight word. I'm going to talk with my client and make sure that it's okay to use 'unsuccessful' in the material. I'll come back tomorrow! Thank you a lot!
